General description:
Modern leadership requires clear thinking under pressure, intelligent risk navigation, and ethical influence.
This seminar series provides practical mental tools for leaders, founders, managers and ambitious professionals who want to make better decisions in complex environments.
Over five intensive Monday evenings, you will train your strategic thinking, decision quality, resilience and negotiation intelligence through hands-on exercises, simulations and guided reflection.
What You Will Gain:
This is not theory-heavy academia.
It is applied strategic intelligence training.
- Stronger decision-making under stress
- Mental clarity in high-pressure environmentsTools for navigating complexity and uncertainty
- Practical frameworks used in modern strategy (OODA, Cynefin, Bayesian updating)
- Risk intelligence and anti-fragile thinking
- Ethical persuasion and negotiation skills
